FaST Metal news

Now the news is published irregularly

Behind the locked doors that lie in the shadows, at the end of forgotten passageways, in the depths of every human mind... madness waits, scratching at the splintered wood with bleeding fingers. Insanity and depravity in all its many hues and colours – blood red to pitch black – kept concealed and restrained for the sake of our society; that thin wall of laws and empathy that saves us from ourselves. But sometimes those locks fail, or the keys are purposefully turned, unleashing the monsters from within. Strangle Wire's The Dark Triad is the sound of the monsters set free, the sound of broken minds and twisted personalities, the sound of an insidious assault on the light that keeps the night at bay.

Summoned into existence in Belfast, Northern Ireland, barely a year ago, Strangle Wire's ineffable darkness and intimidating power is the result of a fusion of talent and experience. Between them, the members of this most potent death machine can boast decades of experience in the catacombs of the metal underground but together they have created something greater than all their past endeavours; something so severe, so saturated in dire cruelty and undiluted poison as to be unstoppable.

The dungeon doors first creaked open in June of 2017, when Grindscene Records sent Strangle Wire's first EP, Narcissism, out into the world. The two tracks from that limited edition release now form the first chapter of the colossal new album, The Dark Triad. Divided into three sections, entitled Narcissism, Psychopathy and Machiavellianism, The Dark Triad takes the listener into the dark heart of the human condition, propelling them ever onward with a musical force of savage intensity, Death Metal possessed of speed, groove and supreme heaviness. Produced by Chris Fielding (Hooded Menace, Primordial, Witchsorrow etc) this album hits with skull-splintering force.

With an imminent performance at Decimation Fest II in Madrid, with Haemorrhage and Disavowed, to be followed by a prestigious slot at the Las Vegas Deathfest in May, alongside Dying Fetus and Incantation - Strangle Wire are set to deliver their message of madness to the world.

Radie Metal / Stonex: music inspired by the character "Captain Marvel" is made available to audition

"This song is, without doubt, one of the more aggressive, not only of the album as the band's history. And this recording took a lot out of me. As I opted for a lower pitch, the skin was more loose, so I had to take the sound of the drums with more grip, which is difficult when you have a lot of things fast. It was tiring, but rewarding. I was very happy with everything, with the entire structure of the (Studio) Orra Man and Loud Factory and with the production of the 'Wizard' Wagner. We talked a lot and we were with the same focus on sound, since the first preproduction, we understand each other", says drummer Amilcar Christófaro.

BETRAYEL Death Shall Overcome,
Street Date: 2/9/2018BETRAYEL formed in Fresno, CA in 1985 with Chris Campise on bass/vocals, guitarists James Carter, James Johnson, and Arlie Patton on drums. Influenced by the burgeoning sounds of Metallica, Exodus, Slayer, BETRAYEL quickly announced their primal Thrash Metal fury by opening their debut demo—1986's Helpless Souls with a bold mission statement: 'Attention posers: prepare to die!'

The following year found the group appearing on Godly Records' Raging Death compilation alongside early incarnations of future greats Atheist (as R.A.V.A.G.E.) and Obituary (as Xecutioner), before work ensued on a second demo: Death Shall Overcome. BETRAYEL then secured its highest-profile appearance to date in 1990 with the opening track on Metal Blade's Metal Massacre Ten compilation, all the while respectfully maintaining their singular focus on intense, raging Thrash.

Even early on, BETRAYEL had opened for names such as Anthrax, Death Angel, Overkill, etc.; and would go on to share the stage with a huge number of impressive acts such as Autopsy, Dark Angel, Kreator, Lääz Rockit, Voïvod. Having amassed an impressive cache of songs that had yet to be recorded, the band was prepping to sign with Mechanic Records, before management issues saw BETRAYEL passed over for Vio-lence instead. By the end of 1990, BETRAYEL was finished.

Finally, almost three decades after the fact, Divebomb Records is proud to grant BETRAYEL's recordings a long overdue discography collection: Death Shall Overcome. The 20-song CD includes tracks from the Helpless Souls and Death Shall Overcome demos, the Raging Death and Metal Massacre Ten compilations, plus eight previously unreleased live cuts recorded in 1988. Fully remastered by Jamie King at The Basement Recording, the disc is housed alongside an extensive booklet loaded with archival photos/flyers and a retrospective interview with the band.

Deadly Possession
TYRRANICIDE God Save The Scene (Deluxe Edition) 2xCD, Street Date: 2/9/2018TYRRANICIDE originally formed on Halloween of 1984 in Pleasanton, CA under the name of Mayhem. The group eventually solidified its lineup of guitarists/vocalists Jeff Hill and Tim Narducci, drummer Mike Serafin, and Ty Turner on bass before being rechristened TYRRANICIDE prior to recording their first demo in 1986. Existing on the fringe of the fabled Bay Area Thrash scene's heyday, TYRRANICIDE rubbed elbows with everyone from future legends such as METALLICA, EXODUS, to second-wave favorites like SACRILEGE B.C., ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT. The band was initially adamant, however, that their thrashing attack not be pigeonholed as simply 'speedcore' or 'crossover', desiring instead for their inclusive attitude to welcome a range of different fans.

After securing an appearance on the Metal Blade/Death Records Complete Death II compilation LP in 1987 alongside contemporaries from IMPULSE MANSLAUGHTER to ANGKOR WAT, TYRRANICIDE hit the studio in October of 1988 to track their lone full-length LP, God Save the Scene. Recorded for a mere $800 and self-released through Hill's own Whirling Dervish Records, the album would go on to become an influential force in the local scene with regard to the D.I.Y. ethic—and a cult classic, no less.

In the years that followed with new bassist Sean Kinnick in tow TYRRANICIDE's final recording sessions were originally intended to comprise a second full-length. In the end, however, the darker and harder-hitting material yielded a pair of EP releases in 1992: a two-song 7" on French label Bad Card Records; and two more songs on a split 8" flexi with Liquid Courage. TYRRANICIDE would ultimately endure a few more lineup changes before finally throwing in the towel before the end of 1993.

But now, nearly 25 years later, Divebomb Records is excited to announce this definitive double-CD reissue of God Save the Scene. The 27-song collection includes the full-length album itself, Don't Label Me from Complete Death II, 1986's Hiding Under White demo, plus the complete sessions from what would have been TYRRANICIDE's sophomore full-length—four songs of which have never before been released! Fully remastered by Jamie King at The Basement Recording, the set is rounded out by an extensive 24-page booklet loaded with photos, flyers, press clippings, and a retrospective interview with the band.

Sonic Night Music Club / CLOCKWORK REVOLUTION New Music Video 'Fade Away'

CLOCKWORK REVOLUTION, featuring
former members of Yngwie Malmsteen, Crimson Glory, Kamelot have released a new music videoFade Away from their debut album which was released September 22th, 2017 via Sonic Night Music Club.

It's not often that you come across an album that combines an individuality of sound with technical prowess and an accessibility of song writing. It's even rarer to find such an album created entirely by one man...

Giuseppe Caruso is not the average metal musician. He has studied percussion and guitar at some of the finest music colleges in Italy, taught percussion at the Institute of Science Poerio in Foggia and has experience of drumming with both thrash and traditional Metal bands. Giuseppe started the Mind Enemies project in 2010 and recorded his first songs at Nadir Music in 2011, under the guidance of Tommy Talamanca of Progressive Death metallers Sadist. In 2013 the first Mind Enemies EP was released and The Darkest Way received great reviews from around the world. A tour of Russia followed before Guiseppe settled down to work on the first full length Mind Enemies album...

Revenge combines immaculately structured songs with wonderful, spiralling lead work that lifts everything to another level. Guiseppe's six string wizardry is breathtaking at times, but always woven expertly into the fabric of the songs it adorns, filling each song with life and colour. Songs like My World balance intricate rhythm work and complex riffs with simple, melodic vocal lines, giving that accessible quality to the virtuoso music. Each song captures different moods and feelings, with the positivity of Dream Time providing a bright contrast to the contemplative The Dark Life. Revenge is an album of depth that rewards repeated listening, revealing more with each play, although the dextrous solos can spellbind in an instant.

Revenge was first unveiled in late 2017, but with little promotional support its arrival went criminally unnoticed. Now the album is heading out into the world with the fanfare it deserves, where it will surely be welcomed with open arms by fans of top quality Metal music.

WAR OF THRONES, featuring former members of Crimson Glory, Rob Rock, have released a new music video, Rule The World, from their forthcoming debut album. The album, Conflict In Creation, will hit stores worldwide on March 9th, 2018 via Sonic Night Music Club.

German Death Metal band ABSORB has announced the addition of guitarist Michael Koch.

He was the missing element we have been searching for and definitely fits in the group. We know each other since 1991, and now he finally joined our camp, and we are delighted to convey our next chapter of death metal with him."

ABSORB was founded as an intransigent Death-Metal-Band established since 1989 in Germany/Bavaria. The band released 2 demos and then in 1994 splitted up. In 2007 Stefan Pfisty and Jochen Steger reformed the band and released new CD Dealing with Pain. The band last EP Vision Apart was released in September 2015. Right now the band working on their new album
which will be released in the end of 2018.

Som do Darma / The lyric video for Hellish War's new version of Defender Of Metal

Originally released by Megahard Records in 2001, Defender Of Metal, Hellish War's debut album, is a true declaration of love to Heavy Metal. Songs like We Are Living For The Metal, The Sign, Memories Of A Metal and the title track became hymns of unconditional devotion to Metal for many fans of the band spread throughout Brazil, the United States, Japan and mainly Europe, where the band has toured twice.

Defender Of Metal not only boosted the career of Hellish War internationally, but shaped the group's musical personality that was enhanced in subsequent works, Heroes Of Tomorrow from 2008 and Keep It Hellish from 2013. The live album Live In Germany (2010) also came packed with classics from the debut and proved the firepower of these tracks among the European audience.

Bulgarian Pagan/Folk Metal band???? ??????? (Tsar Stangra) released their? full-length album ????????? ?????.???? ??????? was formed in 2007 by Stanislav Stefanovski. It started as a solo project until 2014, when new members joined forces with a new vision: making an original combination of Black Metal and Bulgarian Folk music to spread Bulgarian culture through Metal. In the year of 2015, the band released two demos. With the second demo, the band was featured as 'Band of the week' in a couple of underground Black Metal forums and discussion groups.
Tracklist:

Imperative PR have been trawling the sewers and asylums of the world, searching for the darkest and most dangerous bands in existence; those who live outside the moral code of society and revel in this cesspit of a world they've created. What Imperative PR found was Sex Dumpster.

This is a band with no interest in niceties, no time for pretense, no patience for bullshit. Sex Dumpster are a mutated collision between Black Metal and nihilistic punk whose only hope is no hope and whose only home is the gutter. They have poured their bitter truths into ten howling hymns to nothingness and bound them up in barbed wire and hate under the title Lord Alcohol. This debut album grinds you down into the filth of human existence, chokes you on the shards of broken dreams and the acid of worthless aspirations. Songs like This Lonely Rope, Under The Night offer you a painful, drunken stagger down a dirty road to nowhere, without a glimmer of light to follow. This is total annihilation. A one way trip to the void.

The origins of Sex Dumpster can be traced back to frozen isolation in Alaska, where Hiram Lohr first pulled together the disparate souls that would form the band Thousand Year War, who recorded the acclaimed album, Tyrants And Men and the EP Kingdom Of America before collapsing into ruin. Hiram Lohr then turned his back on the ice and snow and headed to the sultry, putrefying heat of Mexico, where he breathed in the rotten stench of humanity's decay, sucked up the soul-corroding horror of life and vomited out the raging, spirit-eating savagery of Sex Dumpster.

Leave your futile hopes in the dirt where they belong and join Sex Dumpster at the altar of Lord Alcohol.

Tracklist:

Italian Heavy Metal band Hanger Theory released their official video clip for the song The Choice from their new EP Painting My Breath. The video was filmed by Marco Falanga with special help from Friul Corps S.A.T. Cividale.

Hanger Theory were formed in 2013 at Udine, Italy by Stefano Andriola. The band published its first single Painting my Breath in March 2016, and
started working on their debut EP which was released in 2017.

Kings will fall. Under this generalizing motto, one of the most playful, lively and explosive new THRASH METAL commands joins the scene of the genre: KINGS WILL FALL.

When drummer Lukas Gross and bassist Daniel Vanzo came together in 2013 to form a band, guitarist René Thaler joined them as well. Finally, the hungry pack was completed by shouter Fabian Jung. And this optimally functioning line-up is still valid today.

Musically, the four South Tyrolean bullies set on a raging-brutal, staccato-like brand until today. Brutal influences of Death-lead get nailed in with punky-snotty wise.
As a result of fierce rehearsal thunderstorms, the boys released their first self-recorded and self-produced demo EP in 2015 with the prophetic title Death Comes Early.

In addition, KINGS WILL FALL attacked not only various stages in their environment. But the raging mob let it crash officially beyond the country's borders. Reward for all sweaty efforts was the loud entry into the semifinals of the Austrian band competition 'Metalchamp'.

The summer of 2016 saw not only a few new gigs but also the songwriting process for the debut album Thrash Force.One, which was recorded at Sarntaler Bucket Hill Studio at the end of the year.

The domestic release show in February 2017 turned into a real Thrash festival, as well as triumphantly followed by the appearance at the most popular South Tyrolean hard music event, the Rock im Ring Festival.

The official release date for Thrash Force.One was February 11th, 2017. KINGS WILL FALL want to stay on the ball live in the future as well. On August 24, the band released their very first official music video for the song Toxic War, which is also featured on the current longplayer. The whole thing was filmed and edited by Daniel Socin from Foto Video Socin. The whole group is totally behind song and video, whose performance passages were recorded in a sooty smithy. With all the introduced, historical WW2 film-fragments, the band would like to aptly clarify the thematic significance of the lyrical overall concept of KINGS WILL FALL. After all, since devastating and terrible wars are constantly being waged in this world despite better knowledge, this human-made evil must finally be named. May all the tyrants finally fall, may all the wars finally end!

Imperative PR / A new video from Jon Vesano's In-Defilade and your last chance to hear both their Elude and crazy Russian grinders Smothered Bowels

First, going far from quietly, are In-Defilade; the irresistible Death Metal war machine lead by ex-Nile frontman Jon Vesano. Refusing to leave the field of conflict without one more charge into the breach, In-Defilade have released a new lyric video for the cataclysmic Guilty. This savage assault on the senses, featuring the searing leadwork of Dallas Toler Wade (ex-Nile, Narcotic Wasteland) is one final reminder that In-Defilade's second album, Elude, is an absolutely essential exercise in Death Metal supremacy.
